Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 310

"Mr. Lancaster, it's not good. Something happened to the newly-developed villa south of the city.” An extremely anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Henry frowned fiercely. "What happened?"

"The manager who was responsible for the construction embezzled the material fund and bought a new batch of inferior materials. Now, most of the villas have signs of collapse and many buyers have gathered around the construction site looking for an explanation."

"What are you talking about?" Henry's expression was extremely gloomy for a moment. The surroundings became so tense that they even felt cooler in the car.

Yvonne shivered and looked at him worriedly. She was curious about what happened that made him react drastically.

"Has the manager been caught?" Henry asked, holding his phone firmly.

The person on the other side of the phone replied, "No, he has run away, but we've filed a police report. We'll get the person as soon as possible."

"Understood. You should calm the buyers first, I'm rushing over now." Henry hung up the phone.

Joe stopped the car and turned to look to the back seat. "Mr. Lancaster, what happened?"

This was exactly what Yvonne was about to ask too. She squeezed her palms and asked, "Yeah, Henry. Did something serious happen?"

Henry took a deep breath, barely suppressed his rage, and replied coldly, "The newly-developed villa area in the south area of the city has collapsed."

"What?" Joe was shocked by the news that his glasses fell off. It took him several seconds to react. "Mr.

Lancaster, how did this happen?"

Real estate was the Lancaster Group’s main business. Every residential area, office building, and villa they developed for decades had zero accidents.

Why now...

"Is there something wrong with the building materials?" Joe quickly pinpointed the reason.

Henry nodded. "Yes, the development manager who was in charge embezzled the fund and bought a batch of inferior materials. He ran away. Now that something happened at the construction site, the buyers are making a fuss."

"Damn it!" Joe hit the steering wheel heavily.

Henry glanced at him, but he didn't blame him for being rude. Instead, he looked over to Yvonne. "You should get off the car first and call Luke to pick you u p. I'm going to the construction site."

"I'll go too," Yvonne said.

Henry turned her down without thinking. "No, you can’t go."

"Why?" Yvonne asked.

Joe replied for Henry, "Madam, sir is worried about your safety. The buyers' emotions are very unstable now, so they might be violent. For the sake of your safety, you shouldn't go."

"Really?" Yvonne looked at Henry.

Henry hummed and said, "Joe’s right. You should ask Luke to pick you up."

"Okay, I understand. Then you should be careful and don't get hurt," Yvonne anxiously replied and got out o f the car.

She stood by the roadside and waved to Henry. She didn't put her hand down until the car left. She then looked around to find a bus stop or a subway station.

She didn't want to ask Luke to come and pick her up.

It would take at least an hour for Luke to reach her. The weather was cold now, so she didn't want to stand at the roadside and catch a cold. It was faster to go home by herself.

Thinking about it, Yvonne walked towards the nearest subway station. 1

Upon her arrival at the station, she randomly selected a ticket machine and queued up to purchase a ticket.

There were a lot of people at the subway station and the queue was very long. Yvonne was near the end of the line.

After queuing up for a while, she stretched her head out to see how many people were in front of her. Just when she took a look, a guy at the front caught her attention.

"Huh?" she couldn't help but exclaim. Then, she secretly looked at the man in front.

The man was tall and big. He was wearing a suit with his hair waxed, looking exquisite and stylish.
